How Much Of Me Is You? by Shan

No one will ever see through these eyes
See my views, see behind my disguise
and I know that you make up part of my traits
What I feel in my heart
and ones that have yet to escalate
I'm trying to explore my dreams
But part of me is out to sea
A figure in life that my life needs
A picture of you is all I see
But see it through my eyes
For one second, one day
Hear my screams and my cries
I wish I knew why I've grown up this way
Does some of my personality
and the way i deal with life-
Stem back from your reality
of your pain and your knife?
I take into consideration, that every night
you went to bed not knowing if your girls were all right
Visitations and phone calls were always accepted
yet you don't respond, I've been left neglected
Will I have this trait?
Will I leave family and love in the past?
Will I never meet my fate
Does one half of me know that the other wont last?
Why did you give up dad?
Is this something that I will do?
Will I throw away all I had-
like what has been done by you?
Look at me dad, and tell me what you see
Because I can't figure out who's you--
and who's me
Look at me now, and tell me what you've missed
Because I've missed it too
I'll just never know,
How much of me is you

So deep ...
..so true. I can hear you crying out in need of answers. Seeking your inner self struggling with whom you are.
Not everything is transfered by blood. Destiny is still your own, made up of your own choices.

You're the only one that can shape your future, it's not genetic, even when the actions of others affect the way you live, you can always make your own choices.
